The Department of Electrical Engineering will be developing a new laboratory for analyzing videos and communication systems from aerial platforms. This will be a unique facility that very few universties have. Profs. Amit Roy-Chowdhury, Bir Bhanu and Daniel Xu are PIs on a DURIP grant from the Office of Naval Research that will facilitate the development of this laboratory. The laboratory will be used for video data collection from aerial platforms, which will be integrated with UCR’s existing camera network facility, called Videoweb, used for research in computer vision. The platforms will also be used for research in non-line-of-sight communication in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum. It will be a unique asset in many undergraduate and graduate courses in intelligent systems and communications.
